Ideas worth spreading

A halogatás nagymesterének elméjében

Tim Urban is tudja, hogy a halogatásnak semmi értelme nincs, mégsem volt képes soha leküzdeni a szokást, hogy az utolsó pillanatra hagyja a dolgok elvégzését. Ebben a szórakoztató és lényegre tapintó beszédben Urban a YouTube videók habzsolása, a Wikipedia-maratonok, és az ablakon kibámulás hosszú időszakai közé kalauzol bennünket — és arra biztat, hogy gondoljuk át komolyabban, mi mindent is halogatunk, mielőtt kifutunk az időből.
